well I read a book last week on the AR234 recon flights over Normandy in August 1944. Heck of a book by the way.
They used pre-production 234's that used the trolley. Well I dug thru my stash and found two Hasegawa kits in 1/48th, plus a pair of Dragon kits in 1/72, and at least one Monogram AR234C3 (four engines). It appears that none have the trolley. Yet the aircraft that flew the recon flights did use the trolley system. So my question is simple. Did or does anybody make the trolley to launch the aircraft?
